Killer Time
Guerrmo, Terra, Aelita, and Nathan are in the boys room. Aelita broke the hug after hearing what he said to her affections.
"Don't you remember me! You saved me from Kathleen and almost died from a bullet!" she said worried.
"Well you are a very pretty girl, as much as Terra, Terra right? But no you don't look familiar I'm sorry. But I guess we must have something between us if I was to risk my own life for you." That last part stung everyone else.
"He's got some amnesia alright?" Guerrmo joked but Terra gave him a glare.
"I got Jeremie confused and angry, now I have you who doesn't even remember me at all." Aelita said tearing and left the room.
The door closed behind her, as soon as she left the intercoms came on.
"Will the student Nathan please report to the front office. Your family is here waiting to pick you up." A female voice sounded and a click signaled she finished.
"Hey we'll take you to your family. Most likely they just got the news right now and they want to see you." Guerrmo gestured him to leave with them.
The day passed uneventfully, Aelita slept in her dorm room with her dorm mates. But an uncomfortable feeling in the room kept any such common fun that use to inhabit their room. Aelita's old friends where allowed to stay in the guest quarters, they didn't met since that one time in the room they all talked.
The next morning came and things quelled another few levels. At breakfast it was like Kadic again, they all forgot about yesterday and put the misunderstanding behind them. Apparently Jeremie told the others about what had happened so they wanted their temporary stay to be good.
"Man this food is……amazing!" Odd shouted engulfing a plate of eggs, sausage patties, and seasoned hash browns.
"I didn't think he could eat more then what he does at our school. Introducing him to a high place like this, I fear he may actually burst." Ulrich chuckled out.
"This food is amazing, what do famous chefs make this food!" Yumi said eating an small assorted tray of her own selects.
"I guess you could say that, this school using the new health plan experimenting around the nation. All of this is cooked in the healthiest way possible and with the freshest foods available." Aelita told them.
"You can say that again." Kila said smiling as she rested her head on her palms looking dreamily at Odd.
"I think someone has a crush." Ulrich whispered into Yumi's ear.
She nodded and smiled to him.
"Hey there's going to be a dance tomorrow if you guys want to come?" Kila said still looking dreamy.
"What do you guys say huh?" Aelita asked.
"I'm up for it."
"Sure"
"Ya…." And a bunch of muffled words in the pancakes.
"Well we should go to the mall and get some clothing for it. My treat?" Aelita got up and threw her tray away.
The gang agreed and they spent the day getting ready for the dance. Guerrmo went to his friend's house and told him about the dance, in his state though he happily agreed. Normally he'd be most hesitant at social events. So with the permission of his family, and many hugs that nearly crushed the poor boy from his family, they left in Guerrmo's car to the mall as well.
The boys listened to some music which strangly enough caused some Dejavou in Nathan's mind. Unfortunatly it was temporary and so they parked and went inside the busy mall.
"Man I hope we find something, all this after holiday shopping might of taken our choices away." Guerrmo said looking around for a good outlet store.
"Let's try this one, they have those awesome dress shirts and pants." He said.
"Hey you remembered that, cool. Let's go in and see if you can remember your style if not, I'll help."
Well two hours passed and they got what they where looking for. The guys left their store about a few minutes past C.L. gang getting out of theirs. But the crowds kept each other from seeing them. Another coincidence is that both groups went to the food court for some fast food. As well as three of Kathleen's followers looking for some revenge, as stupid as they where they where dogs well trained and now about to do their duty.
"Man okay, so after I pelted you in the chest and groin you complied with our deal and said all that. Then you met her!" Guerrmo gave his friend a helpful recall though it didn't help but cause some laughs.
But Guerrmo stopped laughing when he saw the trio of brutes walking around in punk uniforms. They saw him and Nathan and immediately went for them. Guerrmo's eyes widened and he pulled his friend to his side out of his chair and flipped the table. Just as the trio neared, causing a ruckus.
"What the fuck fool, you tryin to mess up my shoes huh? Let's fuck them up!" the leader said as they pulled out short metal chains, another kept his hands in his pockets.
Soon a fight insued which got the attention of the C.L. gang feasting on some pizzas and corndogs.
"What the!" Ulrich said surprised as he shot up in his chair.
Crowds of people where running out of the food court or jumping behind the service counters of the restaurants there. They saw three punkish looking guys with chains swinging at two other guys. Everyone got up and got as close as they could, the tall boy in a letterman jacket tackled one of the brutes while the other ducked a chain and kicked one guy in the groin. The injured one went down clutching himself while the boy, they came to know as Nathan from Aelita, went to help out the tall boy wrestling.
But as he did, the sneaky looking one who stayed out of the fight at first came from behind and with a glimmer of something shiny he jabbed in the back and stomach of the one trying to help his friend. Guerrmo punched his wrestler with such ferocity he KO'd him and only got to see the stabber disappear out the exit doors. His friend fell back to a wall where blood smeared around the initial area the stabbing took place and aginst the wall that supported him.
"Oh come on don't be hurt!" Guerrmo said checking the wounds salivating with red liquid.
"Dam, he shanked me…..he actually stabbed me." Nathan whimpered as he coughed out some blood from the stab wound to his right lung.
"Dammit!" Guerrmo left to look for some napkins to plug up the wounds.
The gang arrived at that time and looked over the mess. Ulrich held down the KO'd guy and Yumi, with the help of a burger outlet worker, tied the groin injured brute. The others not occupied tried to be of some aid as the other boy handed them wads of paper napkins.
"Shit!" Guerrmo spit as more blood seepted from his friends mouth.
"It hurts bad man…I don't know if I can stay awake." Nathan whimpered.
"Stay with us don't close your eyes!" Jeremie said as he doctored him from what he remembered off the internet hospital sites.
"Please stay here for me…please don't leave me." Aelita cried hard cupping the boys face.
"Who are you?" he said before closing his eyes and his breathing stopped.
"Fuck!" Jeremie cussed, "His lungs are filling up with too much fluid. Where the hell is that ambulance I called!"
They all stopped their doctoring but Jeremie and Guerrmo. The boy's blood coated their fingers and the ground.
"If he doesn't get med help fast…..I don't know if he's even still with us." Jeremie said sadly.
Nathan was slumped up against the blue wall with bits of red coating that oozed up and around him. His head slack looked to the ground lifeless.
What was left inside himself, in his mind, a phrase kept repeating with the picture of that lovely pink haired girl. The phrase...
"Can I join You...May I please sit with you? Are You There?"
